Yasha Mazur is a travelling magician, escape artist and tightrope walker whose dazzling public life masks a restless private one. Moving between Lublin, Warsaw and the small towns of nineteenth-century Poland, he is pulled between desire, ambition, faith and responsibility. Isaac Bashevis Singer shapes his story with theatrical energy, sharp observation and an unsettling moral tension.
